Somatypes are an ancient pseudoscience, while caloric intake relative to TDEE doesn't lie.

Think it through a bit more:

If obesity were taxed, there would be pressure to put loopholes in those taxes. Somatypes and "thrifty genome" and so on would be perfect hooks to hang those loopholes on. Result? Questioning that science becomes politically untenable, at least in some universities and research labs. After all, "the grants just follow the illiction returns", as the poet once said:

Completely ignoring some persons that can eat everything they want and don't gain weight.

I lost 25 kg. In 6 months, with counting calories and all. But the amount of effort I had to deliver for a normal weight is almost exponentially more

1 hour strength training per day

1 hour cardio in the morning

No alcohol

6 * eating small portions

8 hours of sleep

1 cheat meal per week

Every day, no exceptions.
